IT'S ABOUT TIME: Trudeau's Liberals finally sever ties with consultant Laith Marouf after 'vile' racist tweets surface Via brianlilley cdnpoli
At noon Monday, Diversity Minister Ahmed Hussen tweeted out that he was cutting the funding from the Community Media Advocacy Centre.
Marouf’s lawyer said that Marouf does not have “any animus toward the Jewish faith as a collective group” and said his tweets made a clear distinction between “Jewish White Supremacists” and Jews in general. But that explanation is difficult to accept.Article content“The anti-Semitic comments made by Laith Marouf are reprehensible and vile,” Hussen said in a statement.
Speaking to government insiders to get a sense of how this came to be shows a series of missteps across four different ministers, two departments and many months. The grant was approved last September as Canada was in the middle of a federal election. On the one hand, I am tempted to cut the government some slack because their contract was with CMAC, not Larouf, but he’s been with them for years. This was not a new hire; he’s featured on their website and was likely central to their application.
